I totally agree on the purse carry issue. Does not matter to some women. My wife included. For this one the gun is the issue.Thanks all.

strength problem was that she could not stand the recoil of the light revolvers. She can rack a slide on some a time or two. Past that it gives her problems. In training & practice I did it for her. For carry she can manage it to load & ready. Biggest thing I think is that she wants to be as much like my Mother as she can. She thinks Mom does everything right including shoot. Mom does shoot good for 75 too.

This is my general opinion also. Flint you remember the lady at the class you attended. She really has the strength problems. Size & recoil are issues. That precludes the light revolvers. She seems determined to carry a semi.

Thanks jbirds, opinions is what I want. I know the reputation seems to be that they are one of the best for the price. What about weight for purse carry. I seem to remember that they are a little heavy???

Need a recomendation of this gun. Lady that just went through CHL class ask me about it. She will carry 24-7 I am sure. Talk to me about weight as well as reliability. Size for purse carry. Reliability issues if not kept meticulously clean? She can, within reason, afford what ever she decides she wants. She has shot my wifes Sig. 232 & really likes it. You might compare the 2 if you want. Thanks.
